We do not have a specific sustainability newsletter, but we have extensive coverage in The Grove, the online employee newsletter. We have an average of two articles per month. The Grove is linked to the sustainability website through an RSS feed. We feel coverage in The Grove is more effective in getting the word out to the larger campus audience than a dedicated newsletter. See the URL below and click on The Grove to the right of the home page. The Sustainability Facebook page is also under development as a paper free way to communicate sustainability news.

Does the institution have a sustainability walking map or tour?:

Yes

A brief description of the sustainability walking map or tour:

Sustainability walking tours were produced in 2012 for new student orientation. They are posted on the sustainability website. In 2004 a student member of the Environmental Club produced a Plant and Habitat Checklist and an Animal Checklist for West Campus. With updates by that student's club advisor, these checklists are posted on the website.Monthly nature walks have been initiated on West Campus, and the Director of Sustainability is working with members of Valencia Volunteers and the Horticulture Club to take over leading these walks.
